Follow the adventures of Scarlet Jones.
Travelling the world, attempting to learn Spanish and volunteering in various different projects, Scarlet never simply travelled, but she took the time to interact with people and she did her best to discover what made them tick.
In this blog you can read about the unusual and the different, the funny and the sad. Travelling solo for the most part, the blog documents a journey of personal discovery, adventure and the most fantastic experiences prior to that fateful time at the beginning of 2020 when the world became a much smaller place for most of us.
As things have evolved in Scarlet’s life and travel, for now, plays a lesser role but the lessons are still there. Building self confidence, healing from pain and abuse and learning about one’s self – these things are still important and have played a key part in moving Scarlet Jones into her role as Jane Clements Life Coach.
I hope you enjoy these travel stories.

My first time at TBEX; the conference for travel bloggers
As a first timer at TBEX I really had no idea what to expect. I had been wandering solo around South America for a year but I was more nervous about meeting nearly 400 travel bloggers than catching my night bus to a remote Amazon town and swimming in a lake...
Bristol: in photos
I recently visited Bristol for a day. A friend who lived there gave me a whistle stop tour of a part of the city. Whilst I have been to Bristol before, there was so much more than I remembered and so much more that I didn't see and that I couldn't cover in a day. Take...
TBEX and Barcelona walking tours
Leading up to the TBEX conference, Context Travel, the city of Barcelona and the seaside resort of Lloret de Mar. After Poland I unexpectedly found myself back in the UK; but maybe it was fate because I learnt that TBEX, a major travel bloggers' conference was...
Poland and the end of my Baltic adventure
It was raining when we left Vilnius along the straight, featureless, flat road to the Polish border. There were few cars but plenty of mega-trucks were bowling along at top speed, stirring up eddies of dust which spiralled up behind them. and floated around in the air...
The Costa Brava and TBEX
Where am I off to next? TBEX is the world's largest gathering of travel bloggers, writers and new media content creators who will be meeting in Spain this week, and I am VERY excited to be a part of it. The TBEX conference itself takes place in Lloret de Mar over two...
Vilnius; the capital city of Lithuania
I left Riga on my own, taking the four hour bus ride across the border and into Lithuania. I arrived at the bus station and after tramping around for half an hour I finally found my hostel. I was hot, bothered and thirsty but with every step I was thanking my lucky...
Riga, the capital city of Latvia
We drove south across the border into Latvia and immediately things changed. To be fair, the grim, sleety weather didn't help but the roads became more potholed as our 'motorway' hugged the steel grey Baltic Sea which we could see through the white trunks of the...
My new backpack…and getting lost. Again!
Confidently striding through a new city with all of my possessions. In the wrong direction! If you are following my recent adventures as I have travelled from Helsinki through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania you will know that there has been one recurring theme. I keep...
